Ansell is dedicated to supporting the highest available regulatory standards. Ansell gloves sold in Europe have been certified as per the European Union’s Personal Protective Equipment Directive (PPE 89/686/EEC) and relevant EN standards, and are CE marked. As many of our gloves comply with the European standards, these are explained in this section.

EN guidE ExplaNatioN of thrEE risk catEgoriEsaccordiNg to EuropEaN lEgislatioN
complying with the ppE directive: 89/686/EEcThe directive specifies two classes of gloves meeting two levels of risk: ‘minimal’ and ‘mortal’ or ‘irreversible’ risk. A risk which falls between these two levels may be described as ‘intermediate’. To comply with the 89/686/EEC Directive, you must establish the level of risk and select gloves of the appropriate class. A system of marking has been developed to help you in that selection.
risk category i: gloves of simple designFor minimal risk only
For gloves of simple design offering protection from low level risks, e.g. janitorial gloves, manufacturers are permitted to test and certify gloves internally (i.e. there is no requirement for testing and certification by an independent body).
risk category ii: gloves of intermediate designFor intermediate risk
Gloves designed to protect against intermediate risk, e.g. general handling gloves requiring good cut, puncture and abrasion performance, must be subjected to independent testing and certification by a notified body. Only these approved bodies may issue a CE mark, without which the gloves may not be sold. Each notified body has its own identification number. The name and address of the notified body that certifies the product has to appear on the instructions for use that will accompany the gloves. Gloves of this category are CE marked as follows:
risk category iii: gloves of complex design For irreversible or mortal risk
Gloves designed to protect against the highest levels of risk e.g. chemicals, must also be tested and certified by a notified body. In addition, the quality assurance system used by the manufacturer to guarantee homogeneity of production or the quality consistency testing of the final product must be independently checked. The body carrying out this evaluation will be identified by a number which must appear alongside the CE mark (in this case, 0493). Gloves of complex design are CE marked as follows:

whEN thE job calls for chEmical protEctioN, aNsEll has thE right glovE for your applicatioN
When hands are at risk from chemical exposure, Ansell has one of the industry’s most comprehensive specialist glove ranges.
Our extensive range of gloves include products that offer splash protection for minimal chemical exposure and products that provide protection for applications involving full chemical immersion.
By utilising numerous polymer types, our gloves protect against a wide variety of chemicals and liquids. They also offer varying levels of cut, tear, abrasion, puncture and thermal resistance.
Choose from nitrile, neoprene, natural rubber latex, PVC, PVA, laminated film, vinyl, butyl or Viton®/butyl gloves.
Designed with comfort and dexterity in mind, Ansell has a wide variety of disposable and reusable options available.
make your chemical glove selection by following this simple step-by-step processStep 1: Which glove material is required for the right protection?
The first, and most important, step is to determine what type of glove and its polymer composition is required to handle the specific chemical.
Use the chemical handling chart to check out the suitability of the glove material, such as nitrile, natural rubber latex, PVC, PVA, neoprene, laminated film, vinyl, butyl or Viton®/butyl, and how it performs with the chemicals you are working with. This will help you identify the Ansell glove that best protects against specific chemicals by providing test results from Ansell’s ASTM standard permeation and degradation resistance.
Step 2: Which glove construction works best for your applications?
You need to evaluate the physical characteristics to determine the most suitable glove construction. Your choice should depend on the performance level required.
For example, the degree of contact with the chemical (immersion or splash) and whether grip is important. There are three basic options to consider:
• Disposable, for basic protection with frequent changing:
– these gloves are very thin and should only be used for light duty work where frequent changes will occur; and
– suitable where basic splash protection is needed.
• Alongerlasting,unsupported glove where tactility, flexibility and dexterity are important:
– these gloves, without an internal material lining, are designed to allow for good dexterity, tactility and flexibility; and
– unsupported gloves are ideal for applications requiring the handling of small components.
• Asupported glove, which contains a cotton liner for heavy-duty use:
– gloves with an inner liner, typically made from knitted cotton, are suited for heavy-duty applications; and
– supported gloves are thicker and designed for durability. They do not necessarily offer better chemical resistance than disposable and non-supported gloves; and
– the cotton liners, however, do provide more comfort and sweat absorption.
Step 3: Which glove option, based on features, suits the user?
Ansell has one of the industry’s broadest and deepest chemical glove ranges. Having determined which glove material and construction is needed, you now have to decide which features you require – such as grip, style, length, thickness, glove lining, colour and so on. Again, your primary use or requirement must be the key decision driver.
For specific details on our gloves we recommend that you check our product catalogue, which you can review or download online at www.ansellasiapacific.com/home, or, call our Customer Service and request a copy.
Permeation is a process by which a chemical can pass through a protective film at molecular level.
Degradation is a reduction in one or more physical properties of a glove material.

This unique combination of liquid-proof chemical resistance and grip, together with flexibility and dexterity, makes the AlphaTec® glove the logical choice when working with chemicals.
•Reliablechemicalprotectionfor added user safety. The patented Ansell Grip Technology™ ensures that the coating polymer does not penetrate the liner during manufacture. The coating is therefore consistent and significantly reduces the likelihood of chemical leakage onto the skin.
•AlphaTec®gloveshavea chemical resistance performance equivalent to the SolVex® 37-175 glove.
